Rise to Power is the fourth studio album by Kane & Abel. It was released on September 21, 1999, via Elektra Records, and was produced by the duo. The album addresses their then-recent federal indictment for cocaine possession. The album peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard 200. It made it to No. 11 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, but was not as successful as the group's previous album, Am I My Brother's Keeper. As of 2004, Rise to Power had sold over 115,000 copies.

Critical reception

CMJ New Music Report praised the album, writing that "the beats are incredible, comprisedof [sic] thick chunks of intergalactic Moog funk." Vibe gave the album a negative review, commenting that the duo were unable to "recapture their glory days as part of Master P's camp." Rolling Stone wrote: "Funkified guitar riffs and percussion strokes transcend Kane and Abel's merely adequate verbal jousting, making Rise to Power a decent CD that could have been exceptional had the lyrics been as soul-stirring as the beats." USA Today listed it as the fifth worst R&B album of 1999.
